Fn Protests
To the editor: It was with
.mnmnnt anrl admiration that
I witnessed the exhibit of the
"American way" ana me tree
..i.mrlo" ivntem in connection
with the sale of reserved scats
for the Mcdford-Grant looinan
game.
Even in high school sports the
school officials seem to under
stand very thoroughly the theory
of scarcity economics. I really
admire the cynicism of the school
official who wants to continue
the imposition of scarcity in
seating capacity thus enabling
the school and others to cash In
on the demand.
I stood In a line of about BOO
people the other morning for
better than two hours awaiting
an opportunity to purchase two
tickets for the Thanksgiving day
game, only to learn that the first
80 in the line had been per
mitted to buy 10 tickets each,
thus exhausting the available
supply of reserved seats.
Later I was offered tickets at
fS per each ticket by certain
profiteers and "scalpers." Still
later I learned that high school
.4,.Ania wnrlt enlicitinff Sale of
reserved scats at 15 for the game
with plenty or ticKets Bvaiiauii
at the price. But at least 450
people were turned away Tues
day morning because the re
served seats were all sold out.
All this mny be very satisfac
tory from the commercialized
high school sports standpoint.
Nevertheless, I shall no longer
bt interested In the Mcdford
high school football team.
C. B. WALKER.
Navy Vs. Army
To the editor: This struggle
ll not a football contest, as the
caption would Indicate, but Is
one arising oyt of a very sane
suggestion by someone knowing
all the facts relating to the fric
tion between these two branches
of our service that they should
be consolidated under one head,
aald consolidation to Include the
Ir forces, with a top ranking
lr man in full command ai fu
ture: wars will ba won by the
contestant having the greatest
air power.
War, like everything else has
stepped out of the horse and
buggy age of slow motion into
one of speed, not on the water,
but in the air, with bomber
fighting and pursuit planes, with
speed up to S0O miles per hour,
with fast transport planes capa
ble of landing regiments fully
equipped for several days in the
field.
W have only to glance at
what the air forces accomplish
ed in Japan and the South Pa
cific in conjuction with the
trained ground forces, to place
this new arm of our defense
service on the top rung of the
ladder and Just below them on
the second rung, the gallant
forces comprising all units of
the infantry, the backbone of
all lighting forces In any man's
war.
Now as to the disposition ot
the navy, we have no more use
for giant battleships, cruisers
and destroyers. They are too
slow, they belong in the horse
and buggy age. They are too
easy a mark for the airman;
they should be dispensed with
and their personnel transferred
to the coast guard and marines
or used In building up a large
merchant marine to carry the
products of our factories and
the surplus of our farms to the
dwellers on the shores of the
seven seas.

Walcoma Home Union Style
To the editor: I am a returned
veteran of 42 months of over
seas duty. I have gone through
the hell of Guadalcanal, New
Georgia, Battle of the Coral Sea,
Tulagl, Tlnian, Tarawa, then on
to Saipnn, Iwo Jima and Oki
nawa. Sick and suffering from
fever and after waiting two
months for transportation home
I finally arrived back in the
States, the land of the free, (so
it Is called.)
I received a discharge and
went out to find one of the many
Jobs we veterans have been
promised. I found one. Swell
employer and good hours.
On the third day a fugitive
from the draft board approached
ma and said, "hey Bud, do you
belong to the union?" I replied
"no". So ha aaya, "well, It you
want to work you had better
wise up and Join the union or
else." I told him I was a re
turned veteran and according to
the G. t. Bill of rights I did not
have to Join a union.
So he says, "well, you boys
run the show over there, but
here we do."
I honestly was dumb-founded.
My employer was helpless. The
union racketeer told me to eith
er Join up In three days or make
myselt scarce. Rather than
cause my employer any grief or
a chance to be picketed I walk
ed off the Job. Not because I
was acared but because Ive seen
enough trouble.
Is this what we have been
fighting for? I've seen whiter
fellows on the Japanese islands
in the South Pacific.
.While your sons, fathers,
brothers, and the husbands have
been through the bloody hell of
war these draft-dodgers have
been sitting back like an octo
pus and slowly squeezing the
life out of the country. I be
lieve there are other veterans
who have gone through this. It
so why not let the public know
what is happening. Surely the
unions as a whole are not proud
of what la happening. You won
der why some of us are bitter.
Well, who has a better right to
be? It is time for a home front
cleaning so let's get started. I,
for one, am going back Into the
service and ask for foreign duty.
An Ex-Marine.
